Howdy!
I have a HP Z640 with 2 Xeon E5-2609 V3 processors, and now I want to upgrade it.
Checking on the Z640 specs (http://www8.hp.com/h20195/v2/GetPDF.aspx/c04400040.pdf) I see several options for the V3 processors (V4 too, but they are more expensive). On this I have 2 questions that I would really appreciate your feebacks, please:
1) Is the Z640 compatible with ANY E5 V3 processor ? I ask this because I don't see on the spec sheet some intel processors listed, like the E5-2698 V3.
2) Besides removing the old processors and install the new ones, is it necessary any further action, like bios or any other firmware update ?
3) Is there any kind of incompatibility on the motherboard of the Z640, like it happens with the Z600 B3 C2 revision, that I should be aware of ?
Thanks.
